“For what it’s worth”
You opinion is worth something. Absolutely, “Helpful hint” is well taken from the operators of this forum.
I firmly believe everyone is entitled to freedom of thought and expression. I am not here to be responsible to dictate a viewpoint.
The responsibility for each individual is to weigh information and develop their own point of view.
Personally, I have a sense of obligation to share information that others may not have access. Many have thanked me. I’m glad you are staying and giving your contribution.
Realistically, sharing, discussing & learning is what Free Republic is all about! :)
BTW, I have not ignored but requested those interested in regarding the transition within the UMC to freepmail for my opinion. Remember the ‘Guidelines’ as posted in Comment #35:
‘do not badger’ nor ‘demand answers.’
The Chechens have faired poorly over the last year and a half in this war.
The response is evasive, and legalistic. And incorrect.
I did look at the Robinson statement: source: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4166577/posts
In it, "do not badger" and "demand answers" do not appear in the text. Maybe you should re-read it?
Really compliance is not that hard!
I apologize. I thought you were aware of Free Republic Guidelines that Mr Robinson created many moons ago.

You apparently are just reflecting on the resent reminder he sent on forum etiquette:

Use common courtesy when posting. Do not post insults or personal attacks against your fellow FReepers. Do not engage in flamewars or feuds.

Do not post threats, threats of violence, death wishes, etc., not even hints of ill will, not even jokingly.
The FBI has no sense of humor.
I hate it when the FBI knocks on my door or serves me a subpoena. Please spare me and maybe yourself from this very unpleasant experience.

This is not DU!
Discuss the issues all you wish, BUT DO NOT MAKE IT PERSONAL!
Remember to use common courtesy when posting to FR. Leave off the insults and flames, name calling, etc.
We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a "Putinista", "commrade", "murderer", "baby-killer", etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.
Likewise, things in the presidential primary are getting over-heated. We want to be sure we come out of this with a Republican president, house and senate. The only way we can accomplish that is to unify the Republican Party. We can't destroy our own candidates. Whoever it is will need to pull us ALL together. Keep the ultimate goal in sight - Freedom! We are not here to fight each other. We are here as allies to fight for God, family, country, and FREEDOM! As William Wallace said in Brave Heart, "Unite the clans!".
Your personal favorite may be Ron DeSantis, mine happens to be President Trump. But if DeSantis receives the nomination, I'll support him, as I hope most other FReepers will.
Incidentally, we are getting way too much profanity. This is NOT DU, this is NOT CNN - (in deep voice) this IS FR!
Finally, if someone says STOP, then STOP! If someone asks you to take them off your ping list, then take them off! If someone asks you to stop posting to them, the adult and polite thing to do is to accommodate them.
Thank you all very much, and God bless you.

Thank you for posting.
Some folks just don’t like to be compliant.
You are abusing Fellow Freepers with your Ukraine Propaganda.
I was going to post something witty about self control and not clicking on the links they don't want to see, but I smelled I could profit.
Many Freepers do appreciate and thank me for my research effort. Apparently, you don’t. But, don’t get angry. If posts/or comments displease, then skim or ignore.
I firmly believe everyone is entitled to freedom of thought and expression. However, I also am entitled freedom of thought and expression.
I am not here to be responsible to dictate any viewpoint. The responsibility for each individual is to weigh information and develop their own point of view.
I have a sense of obligation to share information that others may not have access. Actually, sharing, discussing & learning is what Free Republic is all about!
As I am interested in political topics, I rather choose to compare different views to determine which is based on truth and facts with logic and empirical evidence. I can also tell you that I have learned from people whose views are opposite mine. But not because their viewpoint influence or control mine. Instead, because they push me to research further for confirmation of my views.

To support Ukraine’s further integration into NATO, North Atlantic Treaty Organization Allies agreed on a package of enhanced political and practical support and decided to establish a NATO-Ukraine Council.
This is stated in the final communiqué of the NATO summit, released on Tuesday in Vilnius, reports Censor.NЕТ with reference to Interfax-Ukraine.
“Ukraine’s security is of great importance to Allies and the Alliance. To support Ukraine’s further integration into NATO, today we agreed an important package of enhanced political and practical support. We have decided to establish the NATO-Ukraine Council, a new joint body in which Allies and Ukraine sit as equal members to advance political dialogue, engagement, cooperation and Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations for NATO membership. It will provide for joint consultations, decision-making and action, and will serve as a mechanism for crisis consultations between NATO and Ukraine,” the document says.
In addition, the Allies emphasized that the priority “remains the continued delivery of urgently needed non-lethal assistance to Ukraine by NATO as part of a comprehensive assistance package,” the communiqué said.
The Allies noted that more than €500 million has been allocated since the Madrid Summit. “In order to support Ukraine’s deterrence and defense in the short, medium and long term, today we agreed to further develop the comprehensive assistance package into a multi-year program for Ukraine. The assistance will help rebuild Ukraine’s security and defense sector and move towards full interoperability with NATO. Allies will continue to fund the program in a sustainable and predictable manner. We welcome and encourage the participation of partners,” they said.
